This invention relates to a device for removing surplus lotion from padsor sachets used in waving hair, the present invention being animprovement over that shown in the subject mat- 5 terof an applicationfiled by me on February 24, 1937, SerialNo. 127,568, now abandoned.

The object of the invention is to provide a casing having pressing meanstherein for pressing surplus liquid or lotion from the pads uponmanipulation of an exterior handle, the casing having a slot therein forthe introduction of the padsto the pressing means and said casing havinga front extension supporting. a bowl which servesthe double purpose ofcollecting the liquid pressed from the pads and, also as a container forthe pads while the lotion is being poured over them.

This invention also consistsin certain other features of constructionand inthe combination andarrangement of several parts, tobe hereinafterfully described; illustrated in the accompanying drawings andspecifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing the invention in detail; reference will be had to theaccompanying drawings wherein like characters denotelike orcorresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a side View of the invention. Figure Z'is a top planviewthereof.

Figure3 is a front View of the device.

Figure l is a fragmentary top plan view with the cover of the casingremoved.

Figure 5 is a section on the line 5-5 of Figas we 2.

Figured is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional View showing the pressermember in a different position from that shown in Figure 5.

In these drawings, the numeral l indicates a 40 casing which is formedwith a lower part I l which extends well in front of the casingand thefront part of the extension is formed-with a frame 2 at its bottom. Thelower end' of the front wall of the casing is spaced slightly above 45-the upper edge of the extended part ofthe portion I and the casing isformed with a downwardly and forwardly sloping bottom part 3-ter'-minating in a substantially straight part 3' and a slot 4 is formed inthe bottom at approxi- 505 mately the point where the sloping part joinsthe straight part. A reinforcing web 5 extends across the intermediateportion of the casing below the bottom and is formed with the bottom 3and said bottom is located above the part I. 55 A cover 6 is providedfor the casing and the front of the casing carries the pins 'I'whichpass through holes in the front part of the cover anda long screw 8 isrotatably supported by the rear part of the cover and fits in a threadedsocket in the rear of the casing; the pins and this screw holding thecover to the casing. The cover has a transverse slot 9 in its frontpart, the walls of which curve downwardly as shown at 9'.

A substantially U-shaped" frame I0 is located 10 in the front part ofthe casing with its bight arrangedadjacent to and paralleling the frontwall of the casing and its legs extending rearwardly adjacent the sidewalls of" the casing. This member Ill can be held in place by any 15suitable means though the drawings show it fastened to the fIOIllTWELllof the casing by the screws ll. As will be seen this member extends wellinto the cover 6 which is of cap shapeand overlaps portions of the toppart of the casing. 20

Flat longitudinally extending ribs ii are formed on the upperfaoeof thepart 3 of the bottom and transverse V-shaped ribs- [3 are formed on saidbottom and these ribs support a block I i' of rubber or the like whichhas a groove in its 25 lower edge for receiving the ribs l3-which'prevents the block from slipping out of place. The upper end of theblock has its outer corner beveled as shown and said end extends abovethe member and close to apart of the cover. The 30 pressing face of theblock is located. over the slot 4 and a lip forming member i5 isconnected to the lower face of the bottom part 3 of the casing andextends partly acrossthe slot; as. shown in Figure 5.

A shaft H5 is supportedforsrocking movement in the casing adjacent therear thereof and one end of the shaftv extends through a side wall ofthe casing where it has attached thereto a longhandle l! which has ahandle grip I8'on its free end. A lever frame Hlis connected with theshaft and; a presser member A is pivotally connectedwithx the leverframeby a pin 20; The member A includes a. substantially flat part 2iand a slightly arcuate part 22. which extends downwardly atsubstantially right angles from the part 2!, the junctionof the: twoparts being rounded as shown. Substantially triangular-shaped end pieces23 connectv the parts 21: and 22'. together atltheir endsand'each endpiece is formed with an extension which receives the end of the pin 20.The legs of the frame ID are formed with the downwardly and rearwardlysloping slots 24 which receive the headed projections 25 carried by theend pieces top.

23 adjacent the junction of the members 2| and 22.

A bowl 26 is adapted to fit in the front extension and said bowl has ashallow part 26 which extends under the front part of the casing andunder the slot 4 for receiving the liquid pressed out of the pads by thedevice and such liquid flows down the bottom and through the slot 4 andacross the lip forming member I5.

The pads can be placed in the bowl and the lotion poured over them andthen the pads are inserted into the casing through the slot 9, it

being understood that the pads are provided with pieces of tinfoil orthe like which can be used for holding the pads as they are beingsaturated with the lotion and for holding the pads in suspendedcondition in the casing. Before the pads are placed through the slot 9the handle is moved to a vertical position and when this has been donethe member I9 will be in raised position andthis will draw the pressermem-- ber A rearwardly and as the pins pass along the slots 24 themember A will be moved downwardly and thus said member will be spacedfrom the block of resilient material as shown in Figure 4. This willpermit the pads to be placed between said block and the presser member.Then the handle is moved downwardly and forwardly which will swing thelever l9 downwardly and as it moves downwardly it will force the memberA forwardly which causes the projections 25 to ride upwardly in the slot24 and this will press the upper part of the portion 22 of the member Aagainst the top parts of the pads held in the casing. Further movementof the handle will then cause the lever to start toswing the rear endsof the end members 23 rearwardly which will cause portion 22 to pressthe pads against the block and this action will continue until thehandle is in fully lowered position, with the projections 25 in the rearends of the slots 24 and the lower part of the portion 22 pressingagainst the pads. Then the handle is moved upwardly which again subjectsthe pads to the pressing action of the part 22 and at the end of thisaction the presser member is moved away from the pads so that the padscan be removed. 7

As will be seen from Figures 5 and 6 the member 22 has a rolling actionon the pads from top to bottom and then from the bottom to the Thus itwill be seen surplus lotion is pressed from the pads without the use ofthe hands of the operator and due to the fact that the operator cancarry the pads by the sheets of tinfoil or the like attached thereto,there is no necessity for the operator placing her hands on the pads orin the lotion.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages andnovel features of the invention will be readily apparent.
